Listen Later

Ever feel like your inner critic has you stuck in a recirculating hole? 🙋‍♀️ Same here.

In this solo episode, I share the 5 steps to stop negative self-talk — the exact ones I use when my own mind starts spiraling - which it has been doing recently on my back-healing journey.

Here's what you'll learn:

✨ Get curious about your inner dialogue 🛑 Interrupt the negative loop 🌊 Replace it with affirmations + embodied feelings 📒 Gather evidence of your progress 🔄 Keep practicing — it's a lifelong river journey

Think of it like paddling out of a sticky hydraulic: awareness, direction, and practice set you free.

💡 Why listen? Because your self-talk shapes how you show up — on the river and in life. If you're ready to stop trashing yourself, paddle toward confidence, and feel lighter in your body and mind, this episode is for you.
